Title: "Flavour anomalies in b —> s ll processes”

Abstract: Precision measurements of flavour observables can provide powerful tests of many extensions of the Standard Model. 
I will present a review of recent measurements of rare b —> s ll flavour-changing-neutral current processes, focussing on 
places where tensions have started to appear between experimental measurements and Standard Model predictions. The talk 
will summarise the possible explanations for the tensions. I will also try to highlight areas where theoretical progress 
is needed to keep pace with increasing experimental precision from the LHC experiments.
